I'm not to sure about store brought biscuits, they seem to leave an after taste, could this recipe be adapted somehow to a homemade biscuit if it were made lighter? But the idea does sound delicious, and I do love glazed donuts, I will give it a try!

We were really poor growing up and Mom made these with us all the time. I started making them with my daughter when she was a toddler. It is a big treat for her friends to get to help make - and eat - the doughnuts. And now they are in their 20's. I also use to make a sell these out of my dorm room when in college. I use a drink cap to make the hole. Also, I place the dipped doughnuts straight on a plate. We really enjoy the glaze off the plate.

There is nothing new under the sun! We made these "poor man's" doughnuts years ago! This was back in early 50's. We could get a can of biscuits for 10 cents! My dad was a pastor of a small church and we would come home from Sunday night church and have hot doughnuts, YUM

We used to make these doughnuts at school (for our safety club) as a fund raiser several times a year. We never had to eat one because it was left over!
Our school safety club made these doughnuts and sold them as a fund raiser some 50 years ago!! We never had one to throw away because it was left over!! They are delicious with sprinkled cinnamon sugar, confectioner sugar, chocolate sugar, sugar with lemon and orange zest!!! Anyway you like it!! Anyway you want it!! Just Good.
We used Pillsbury canned biscuits - this was 50

Sorry, but if you bake them you only get a biscuit. It is the frying that turns the biscuit into a doughnut. Try using light olive oil to fry with, but ask your doctor if that is all right for you to do so first. Love, Ruby Brown

We used to call these "poor man's donuts", and we also used sugar/cinnamon in a paper bag, while still hot, drop donuts into bag and shake until coated, you can also twist the bisquits into different shaps

mr food; I made your hearty amish chicken stew; It was for tonights dinner. but i couldnt wait for tonight. I just had myself a bowl. boy is it good. I am having more later. Iknow iam making this again.your right its so good. thanks again ottillia.

I have done this for years except we called it Pizza Freida. Lay out the biscuit dough & press it to flatten & spread. Lay in cooking oil till browned & turn over for a few more seconds. Place on paper towel, while still warm sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinamon. Kids love it as a special desert! Yum!!

these we call pizza freida in Italian. they are also called elephant ears at festivals. really good, anything like this should be made sparingly because we all need to watch our cholesterol!! do not overindulge!!!!!

I've made doughnuts this way for a long time. I have 3 tips-- 1) skip spreading the biscuits out to make the holes, just poke or tear a hole in the biscuit (with your thumb when you pull it out of the can just before you put it in the oil; 2) I've found the store brand biscuit dough often makes the better tasting doughnuts; and 3) since you are already heating up the oil, make more than just 10 (the tubes usually come in 4-packs anyway).

We sure don't mind leftovers of this creamy spaghetti; it's just as good or better the next day. The only problem is that our Layered Spaghetti Casserole is so lip-smacking good, you might not have any left!
